That's really sad to see a moose in that condition. They found many moose in MN had a terrible tick infestation in a survey that was done. They felt this was a contributing factor to so many dying.


Remember as a kid we played army and you gave up the fort so the other side got it? Of course you don't. Little kids aren't that stupid.

shoulda put a tracker on the moose to get the skull when it passes


The rifle has no will of its own it may be used for evil but there are more good men than evil men and evil will be corrected by good men with rifles.
